SUMMARY:Book Signing with Melba Levick and Rubén Mendoza for Casa Santa Fe
DESCRIPTION:Free \nPlease join Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday\, April 8th\, 4:00 – 6:00 pm for a book signing with Melba Levick and Rubén Mendoza for Casa Santa Fe!\nCasa Santa Fe: Design\, Style\, Arts\, and Tradition\nPhotographs by Melba Levick\, Text by Rubén G. Mendoza\n\n“Desert hues\, natural materials\, thick hand-plastered walls\, and adobe brick construction are hallmarks of the Santa Fe Style\, which is as much an expression in architecture\, interior design\, art\, and crafts as it is a way of life. Rooted in a sense of earthy comfort inspired by its history\, the surrounding desert\, and Native American and Hispanic design influences\, the style has a timeless appeal and vibrant ongoing life that has resulted in these extraordinary homes. \nWith features such as eighteenth-century peeled vigas\, tin chandeliers\, romantic iron sconces\, and hand-hewn wood-beamed ceilings\, each house is a rich yet harmonious invitation that will engage the senses and speak to the soul. Beyond the houses\, the writer and photographer spotlight those details and spaces that together convey the magic of this very special place\, including patios and gardens; fireplaces\, kivas\, and hornos; ceramics; Native American arts; cabinets and trasteros; folk art; and weaving. \nCasa Santa Fe is the definitive sourcebook for architects\, designers\, builders\, homeowners\, and interior decorators seeking to expand their visual repertoire of historically defined and classically inspired architectural details and interior appointments.” \n

Melba Levick is an internationally renowned photographer based in Los Angeles and Paris\, with more than sixty books to her name. Her most recent publications from Rizzoli include The Spanish Style House\, The California Missions\, The Ranches: Home on the Range in California\, The California Casa\, and Classic Homes of Los Angeles. \nDr. Rubén G. Mendoza is an archaeologist\, photographer\, and founding faculty member of the California State University\, Monterey Bay. He is the author of several books including The Spanish Style House\, The California Missions\, and Mission San Miguel Arcángel. \n\nIf you cannot attend but would like to purchase a signed copy\, please call Arcana Books at 310-458-1499.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Welcomes Photographer Melba Levick and Author Ruben G. Mendoza
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, December 14th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing with photographer Melba Levick and author Ruben G. Mendoza for the release of Mission San Miguel Arcángel published by Nazraeli Press. \n“Mission San Miguel Arcángel was founded on July 25\, 1797 in what is now California’s Central Coast. The site was chosen in part because of the large number of Salinan Indians that inhabited the area\, whom the Spanish priests wanted to evangelize. Unlike most of the other missions in California\, Mission San Miguel’s appearance is much the same as it was when founded. The inside has never been repainted; the pictures and the colors decorating the six-food thick adobe walls are the originals that were created and painted by Indian artisans under the direction of Esteban Munras of Catalonia\, Spain. \nThe physical beauty of the structures and gardens is unparalleled\, but among California’s twenty-one Spanish missions\, San Miguel is in many ways considered to be the “poor stepson” of the chain\, and has until now been lacking a dedicated book. As it is only a short distance from Nazraeli Press’ editorial office and olive farm\, we are therefore especially pleased to announce this book\, dedicated to the history and present state of Mission San Miguel. \nWith over fifty photographic books to her credit\, Melba Levick is well known for her work as an architectural and travel photographer. Her photographs have been published and exhibited across North America and Europe for over thirty years\, ranging in subject matter from California ranches and Spanish-style homes\, to Antonio Gaudi in Barcelona\, Mexican gardens\, and the colors of India. Ruben G. Mendoza is an archaeologist\, author\, photographer\, and founding faculty member of California State University\, Monterey Bay.”

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts A Book Signing With Marc Appleton & Melba Levick
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Sunday\, December 18th from 4 to 6 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing  and celebration of Ranches: Home on the Range in California with author Marc Appleton and photographer Melba Levick. \nThe lure of the West has been strong in American history\, representing the promise of beautiful\, wild landscapes\, broad vistas\, clean air\, and bright skies. On this magnificent land are the romantic and intriguing homes set in the idyllic landscapes of the great California ranches. From the one hundred and fifty year-old Rancho Camulos of “Ramona” fame to Jack London’s Beauty Ranch on the slopes of Sonoma Mountain to the working ranches of today\, Ranches: Home on the Range in California presents an expression of a lifestyle steeped in self-sufficiency\, love of the land\, and lack of pretense. Arising from the tradition of the Mexican land-grant ranchos and the spread of Spanish Catholic missions\, the ranches of California have a long and multifaceted history which is examined by author Marc Appleton – who himself can attest to the challenges and charms of ranch life. Located in dramatic landscapes of rolling hills\, upon the sides of mountains\, or in vast plains bordered by snow-capped mountains\, the featured homes are exquisitely captured by renowned architectural photographer Melba Levick. At once a tribute to a historic form and a fading way of life\, as well as a celebration of renewal\, architectural beauty\, and the romance of the West\, this beautiful and authoritative book offers the reader an immersive experience of living on the land.
